I had totally forgotten about the Sesame Street sketch where Grover is a waiter.

oh okay!

kenan that's the joke i thought you were making! in my mind grover has always got the white cloth draped over one arm, and he is trying to act suave and francais

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 21 April 2006 20:10 (twenty years ago)

See, that's a joke I just got now. It's a server named Grover. Wink wink.

"Do you remember that time in Paris?"
"That cafe!"
"That waiter!"
"Jean-Luc!!!!!"

wait shit!! i screwed up the first one. it was actually called "teotihuacan"

or in common parlance, "tio" - our sysadmin had mapped that to work, too, as long as you were in our subnet

arran - home of my first email account.

Most of our work servers - the ones installed before I arrived - have pretty boring names. When I named our new* central file server 'central' at work it didn't bother anyone, but the later names 'circle' and 'jubilee' raised some eyebrows.

* "reconditioned" is a better word than new - I took an old NT4 box and put new disks and Linux in/on it.

Not quite a server, but i knew of a Laserwriter called "Godot"

― stet (stet), Sunday, 23 April 2006 15:17 (twenty years ago)

(The Mac OS used to say "Waiting for X..." when warming up a laserwriter for printing, where X is the printer name)

I used to be able to name the servers here, and we went through a phase of naming them all after figures from mythology (Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Irish mythology, we were very ecumenical). Then we got some kill joy consultants in, and now all our servers are called things like 14WETRWR-01A.

We had one in my first job called NEDFLANDERS.

The IT dudes from our parent corporation seem to name all our servers after things from The Matrix. Dozer, Neo, etc. What's really LOL is that I've heard ppl from other organizations say the same thing. How many servers are out there named Morpheus?
